HUBBLE SPACE TELESCOPE
DAILY REPORT #834
PERIOD COVERED: 0800 EST
Daily Status Report as of 061/1200Z.
1.0 ACTIVITIES SCHEDULED AND ACCOMPLISHED:
1.1 Completed FOS/RD 4123 (FOS Spectral Flat Fields Monitor Revised)
The Faint Object Spectrograph (Red Side only) was used to make
observations to standard star WD0501+527 to make standard spectral
time dependent ultraviolet flat field calibrations. All of the
observations were received and displayed in the OSS. They were
reported to look okay.
1.2 Completed PC 4712 (WF/PC Calibration: Measles Monitor)
The Planetary Camera was used to make six Earth calibration
observations using filter F517N, both with and without filter F122M.
The goal is to monitor the appearance and the number of measles
(i.e., a form of contamination). Of the six images which were
received, the fifth was reported to be underexposed, and the others
were okay.
1.3 Completed WFC/FOS/BL 3707 (HST Observations of Periodic Comets)
The Wide Field Camera and the Faint Object Spectrograph (On both the
Red and Blue sides) were used to study periodic comet Schaumasse. A
decision observation was made, and a set of corrective offsets were
uplinked to the spacecraft. No problems were reported. The spectral
observations occurred during LOS, and still remain on the science
tape recorder. They will be analyzed later.
1.4 Completed PC 4093 (Survey of Nuclear Regions of 102 Markarian
Galaxies)
The Planetary Camera was used to make images of the inner regions of
the Markarian galaxy MARK96. The observations were made in course
track. The observations were monitored in the OSS, and no problems
were reported.
1.5 Completed PC 4027 (Non-Proprietary Snapshots Survey Round 2)
The Planetary Camera was used to make a non-proprietary snapshot
image of the quasar US1420. The observations was executed as
scheduled, and no problems were reported.
1.6 Completed WFC 3172 (WF/PC SV Observations: Internal Monitor Proposal)
The Wide Field Camera was used to make an internal bias calibration
image. No external targets were used. The observations were executed
as scheduled, and monitored in the OSS. No problems were reported.
